What does it do for me?

Did you ever wonder why some programs are already running after you log on? Now
you can manage these programs easily. No matter how the
program is started, they are all listed with the full start path. You may temporarily disable each entry
and test the behavior of Windows, perhaps enable it later, or delete it right away.

Prevent programs from starting automatically

Where should I start?

Open the 12-Startup settings window to see a list of programs started automatically
after you log on. To remove an entry select it in the list and click Delete. If
you are not quite sure what it is or if you need it, un-check the entry. Verfiy
after the next restart of your computer that everything is running normal. In case
you are missing a feature you may enable the program again at a later time.
